Guillermo del Toro lovingly brings Hellboy to the big screen. It's visually stunning and stays very true to the comic and its characters. Getting Ron Perlman to play Hellboy is probably the best bit of casting in the history of cinema! One of the better comic adaptations of recen...( read more)

I really enjoyed this comic book hero movie. Ron ...( read more)
